XBLAFANS

As we approach the third birthday of one of XBLA’s biggest hits, The Behemoth celebrates with a brand newCastle Crashers title update full of new content and fixed glitches for the fans to enjoy. Here’s the complete list of features, directly from The Behemoth:

Castle Crashers XBLA Title Update 2 Changes

• Download the Pink Knight (complete with new weapons!) in the Xbox LIVE Marketplace,  FOR FREE!!!!!!! ($1.00 donated to Keep A Breast Foundation with each of the first 50,000 downloads)
• Download the Blacksmith Pack for 160 Microsoft Points. Once shrouded in mystery, the legend of the Blacksmith becomes a reality. Wielding miniature antlered frogs, burning hammers of justice and springboard contraptions, this warrior is much like William Wallace (ala Braveheart), but purple and definitely not Mel Gibson.
• Added a Team vs Team feature to Player Match Arena (as opposed to the current free-for-all).
• Earn two new Avatar Awards—Cardinal Animal Orb and Knight  Helmet!
• Ability to check Player’s Gamer Cards in Xbox LIVE matches.
• Main menu News Ticker for all of your latest Castle Crashers and Behemoth Updates!

Notable Bug Fixes:

• Level 256 cheat resolved (more info available on request).
• Data copy glitch (more info available on request).
• Sandworm experience glitch (more info available on request).
• Wedding Crashers progression save now fixed when user leaves game play in flowery fields.
• Smoothed Alien Hominid’s Splash Magic when traveling over water.
• Slowed down Iceskimo’s power drainage from magic.
• More effects added to elemental attacks for Alien Hominid, Demon and Iceskimo!
• If your character dies, your Animal Orbs can no longer fight without you.

Adding free fresh content to a three year old game is not done often, but this comes as a nice surprise to fans and will give more incentive for people who haven’t bought the game already. A new multiplayer mode, avatar awards, and the legendary Pink Knight are all proof of how much The Behemoth loves us.

I'll probably give Castle Crashers another shot, soon. I got it on day 1 for XBLA and beat the game with a group of people online but I didn't get an achievement for my effort. Haven't played it in years but it seems like one of those games that will never get old. This new DLC is just the encouragement I need to fire the game back up.

It keeps selling so makes sense to patch it and add content. It is the best selling XBLA game of all time, correct?

Nice. I want that pink knight.

I had forgotten I have this game, I'll play it again with the pink knight.

It's gotta be this or Trials HD. Trials HD broke 2 million a couple of months ago.

I would love if they added a few more levels on to the game. I mean they keep adding more and more characters to the mix but you still play on the same levels. Also I wonder what the data copy glitch was.

Will the PS3 version get this update too?

Enough with the new characters and bring us a sequel. I seriously do not have the attention span to to keep playing the same game over and over no matter how fresh and sweet it is.

It's pretty awesome that even this far into it's life this game is getting an update.
